How is Thanksgiving two weeks away?! Are you hosting dinner? Do you have guests staying overnight? Since it’s officially hosting season I figure many of you are getting your guest bedroom ready for your guests so I thought that I’d share with you how I get my guest bedroom ready. 1. Fresh flowers. It’s all in the details and fresh flowers make the room warm and welcoming. Plus it’s a nice treat for me because when the guests leave I move the flowers to the kitchen or family room for me to enjoy some more. I love adding a touch …

My baby sister is getting married in less than 2 weeks! Cue the tears (happy tears, of course). A couple of weeks ago my sisters and I threw her bachelorette party. We started the day with a brunch at my house (I’ll get more to that in a moment). Then we went to The Hopkins Vineyard where we enjoyed a wine tasting.

Last week I shared with you how I decorated our kitchen for Fall. Today I’m continuing the tour of our home to show you our cozy Fall family room.

You’ll see that I placed them placed around the room, …

Last month I found so many great items that I thought I’d do an overhaul and show you what my kitchen looks like for Fall. I bought the two white pumpkin pots from the Home Goods store to put one on each side of the stove. I also bought the vase, small pedestal, and faux hydrangea at the same time, which will be great …

It’s finally starting to feel like Spring outside, which is good because I’ve had the house ready for Spring since late February. I start that early for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I’m very eager for more light and warmer temperatures come late February into early March so I figure if I bring Spring inside then maybe I’ll start feeling like it really is Spring (even when we have 10 inches of snow). Second, I’m a visual person so I usually have to rearrange things 2, 3 or 4 times before I’m happy with the way something looks. …
